Thanks Mike
I used to have a web site to document the layout but it got too be to much hassle.
I'm hoping to replace it with the photo bucket library.
Did you think there were to many pictures?
Did you find the descriptions useful to explain what was going on?
I ask because I'm using the ATC forum as guinea pigs before I send the address and password out to family and fellow train enthusiasts.
Thanks again for your comments.

Loved the descriptions. Very helpful to know what I was looking at. I actually sat and looked through it ALL. It's truly an amazing thing. My question to you is this: I can only assume you are never moving. What will happen to it down the road? You have an awesome wife!!

KP and I are utterly and totally amazed and think it's fantastic, all the detail that you have put into it, he likes the Arc Welder..
Keep going, papa...

Thanks Tink I'm Glad you and KP enjoyed it. I need to make a video and post it the lights on the guy welding flah blue and white it looks pretty cool.

Thanks Mike.This is our second and last (presumably) Home. The only way it's coming down is if we move to the lake after retirement and I can build a bigger one.Yes my wife is a definite keeper.

That is absolutely amazing and you can tell it's a complete labor of love. Great job.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but since the layout does have Christmas the year round I'll put it here and trust Chantelle will move it to the proper spot.
I started my train layout in March of 2007 here is a link to a photo-bucket album that I'm using to document it's construction.
I update it as i begin new projects and I'm working on adding text to the images.

This years work starts at the bottom of page 25,I'm currently working on a two stall engine shed with a machine shop attached to it,and trying to figure out where to put the train tree now that I have all the track down.
